It’d be super rad if we could have an American historical drama that doesn’t have a female Indigenous character who: 1. Is effectively mute, despite being in almost every episode and being around people who speak her language, and 2. Is more or less defined by surviving rape.

The technical geniuses at DOGE strike again

Commander Riker, Are you aware that there is an Orion pornographic holodeck program that features you as one of the performers? Worf

Captain, When we visit planets 4 and 8 of the Chan system, is the Prime Directive still in effect? They deserve some interference. Worf

Security personnel, Do not put phasers in the lost and found. We have weapon procurement procedures for a reason. Worf

So true. I've had 3 transgender operations this week.

these are the types of cryptic notes I find after my seven year old daughter has a playdate

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious, I’m dead 😂😂

Geordi, Do you know why the holodeck is not able to create a Charizard for me to battle? I wish to fight one directly. Worf

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

It's honestly a wise move for non-US investors to divest of all US-based investments. US economy is going to tank in the near future, and any foreign investment is in the US is likely 100% at risk at this point.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at federal govt buildings

THE GOP IS TERRIFIED OF ITS OWN VOTERS.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

The governor of Maine, who just told Trump, on video, "see you in court."

JUST NOW: Trump again refuses to call Putin a “dictator”, despite calling Zelensky one repeatedly He will not criticize Putin

The guy who used to run social media for the NRA is now creating the same violent rhetoric for the White House.

NEW: Law Dork can confirm that, per a memo sent today from Acting Commissioner Dudek, most components of the office (OARO) are being moved to other offices — and that Deputy Commissioner Gina Clemons, who headed OARO, is being moved to be a "senior advisor" in the Office of Communications.

I didn't know Janet Mills had it in her

EXCLUSIVE (by me, heh) New York Times caught passing off GOP flack as average Black voter www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

There’s no better way to describe the dumbfuckery of #Felontrump letting #Immigrantmusk rape & rob our country. Republicans/Maga is this what you voted for? I sure as hell did NOT! I voted for her! #DemVoice1

Republican voters are starting to discover that the leopards are in fact going to eat their faces, and are not happy about it However, the Friends of Leopards are threatening to kill anyone who tries to stop the leopards, so they're going to let the leopards eat people's faces anyway.

This is what the Silicon Valley gang wants the US to base its full faith and credit on.

The mistake most people make (but @elienyc.bsky.social does not in this article) is assuming that Trump and Musk are trying to socially engineer US society. They aren't. Their goals are far more mundanely venal. Musk just wants to own everything, and Trump just wants to be loved.

Always read Elie, you'll walk away having come smarter each time

This. Trump isn't doing Putin's bidding because Putin has blackmailed him and Trump feels like he has no choice. He's doing Putin's bidding because he venerates Putin and wants Putin to like him. Putin will never like him, of course, but he will pretend to in order to get Trump to do what he likes.
